Heidegger and Etienne Gilson
Hello, friends!
I have asked here before some questions about Heidegger, and I would like to hear your opinions about mixing two authors such as Etienne Gilson and Heidegger. They both talk about being and existence, but the thing is, that I am trying to use Etienne Gilson's concept about being and existence, because I find his approach of the matter more qualified to my research, although I feel the need to use Heidegger to talk about his concept of "throwness", wich I couldn't find in any other author. The thing is, Etienne Gilson is known for his critical views about Heidegger, so is there a a problem in doing a research putting such authors together?
I deeply appreciate all the help!

I don't find it strange that philosophy, after the tragic advent of its analytical form, has moved in the direction of Heidegger's mysticism. This is the logical step, given the empty formalism of analytical philosophy, but it is a step in the wrong direction for the species. More wasted time, more wasted lives.
1) cite a Heidegger passage that is mystical please
2) why isn't Hegel's belief that every thing is really an Idea suspended in nothingness less mystical
Hi. Gilson was a strict traditional Catholic, while Heidegger had rejected that faith. Heidegger was an apostate in Gilson's eyes. "There is no salvation outside the Church" Catholics use to say
Someone is critical of Heidegger? You astonish me. I hope the criticism isn't based on the fact he was an unapologetic Nazi and virulent anti-Semite.
This is totally valid and deserves a reply, I just haven't had time to get to it.
